[title]
An Italian wine bar and kitchen tucked away down Artillery Passage, in Spitalfields. It takes its name from an innovative wine-making movement born in the 60s, and which now produces some of Tuscany's - and Italy's - best reds.
Enoteca Super Tuscan's not all about the wine, though. A good selection of stuzzichini (small plates) includes bruschetta and arrancinetti (here made with smoked pancetta, mozzarella and n’duja sausage) to pizzetta, bianchetti and fagioli alla Toscana - a traditional Tuscan dish of cannellini beans served with crostini and and olive oil.
Pasta, carne and pesce options include mushroom tortelloni, char-grilled, herb marinated chicken escalopes, a slow-cooked veal and petits pois stew and salsicce Toscana con lenticchie - a classic Tuscan dish of char-grilled sausages flavoured with fennel seeds. Sharing platters and daily specials are available, too.
The wine list is Italian all the way, with bottles selected from Umbria, Veneto, Puglia, Campana, Le Marche, Sardinia and Sicily. It's Tuscany that features most, though, with recognisable options alongside those from small producers, fine cellar reds and bona-fide Super Tuscans, such as a 2009 Tignanello Antinori - a blend of sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc.
